Infosys Campus Connect

Software industry being ―people-centric‖, requires talented employees to remain ahead of competition in the global market place. The IT industry employs a large number of fresh recruits from engineering colleges. However, IT service majors have noticed certain skill gaps while serving their customers. The need for academia-industry partnership is being strongly felt; it is therefore required to enhance the readiness of fresh engineering graduate workforce and make engineering students ―industry-ready. Infosys launched an academia-industry partnership initiative termed Campus Connect (CC) in May 2004. The program aims to deepen the academia-industry relationship and create a strong foundation for the future needs of growing IT industry. The nation-wide program aims to build a sustainable partnership with engineering education institutions in India, and produce ―industry ready‖ professionals by aligning engineering students‘ skills with the needs of the industry. The objective in launching the CC program is to enhance the quality and quantity of the IT talent-pool; sustain the growth of the IT industry itself. Infosys, in this CC program, is therefore, sharing with the academia its mature technology training methods, courseware, student project samples and other such learning resources that have been developed, practiced and perfected over the last 15 years.
